What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working. ( www.cnbc.com )

Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations....

It’s a way to turn people off of what they really mean.

“Quiet quitting” is just doing your job. Trying to make it seem like breaking your back to help someone profit is the minimum to do unless you want to be branded a quitter.

“Soft saving” is apparently the requirement of working til your dead because no one gets paid enough to…hard save…I guess.

Ask a question, albeit rhetorical. Get answer that seems to agree with your stance.

Be a dick about it.

You got many friends?

I have a public service job.

Can’t afford to live, get shouted at by callers irrelevant to my role each day just cos I am at a phone, can’t work from home despite the whole organisation doing so, higher paid people throw their workload at me cos they don’t want to do it.

Feels no different from when i was in the private sector really.

Looking, not much on the market right now, but it’s a process I suppose!

The wording was a tad dramatic.

I can afford to eat. But I can’t afford housing and any enjoyment comes with guilt from knowing itll have a knock on effect to my finances. I’m living with a parent (who similarly struggles to pay bills)

It’s more a case of finding it hard to hit the bills and not being able to see a future where I’m comfortable.

I’d say it’s mostly due to the cost of living rather than the pay. 10 years ago I’d be doing quite well, but the pay grades haven’t changed to meet inflation or accommodate for the high cost of living.
